Time trickled by, drop by drop, yet fewer and fewer Alchemists went upstairs.
Even though the Gathering Space Tower had raised the reward to as many as five Peak Grade Spirit Seeds!
Many people had seen through the situation. Obviously, Master Chang’s injuries were no ordinary wounds. Otherwise, the Gathering Space Tower wouldn’t have offered such a generous reward without reason.
Of course, during this time there was no shortage of those unafraid of death who took Master Chang’s pulse. However, they all met miserable ends!
This made people’s hair stand on end even more.
Just as that person had said, this meteorite that had fallen from beyond the sky was somewhat sinister!
“Manager, the Branch Master summons you upstairs!”
A powerful member of the Gathering Space Tower descended from above and whispered in the manager’s ear. The manager of the Gathering Space Crystal House hurriedly went upstairs.
About a few minutes later, he returned, his expression somewhat complex.
“Everyone, please quieten down!”
He spoke up. After the scene fell silent, he continued with a solemn face, “After deliberation by the Branch Master of our Gathering Space Tower’s Open Mysteries City branch, anyone who can alleviate Master Chang’s condition will be regarded as an Honorary Guest Officer by our Gathering Space Tower!”
*Siii!*
Even though the crowd had long known that the Gathering Space Tower would increase the reward, hearing this statement now, they could not help but draw in another sharp breath.
Honorary Guest Officer!
Although the position of Honorary Guest Officer did not bring substantive authority, the status of an Honorary Guest Officer within such a Force would absolutely be no lower than that of an Elder.
Just like now, whoever could become an Honorary Guest Officer of the Gathering Space Tower, even the Branch Master of the Open Mysteries City branch would have to treat them with courtesy.
Moreover, within the entire sphere of influence of the Gathering Space Tower, one would receive the Gathering Space Tower’s protection.
“As far as I know, it seems the Gathering Space Tower only has two Honorary Guest Officers. Moreover, one is a Peak Stage Martial Emperor, while the other is a renowned Master Divine Appraiser.”
Someone in the crowd murmured.
From this, one could see that the position of Honorary Guest Officer was hard to obtain.
Qin Yichen also knew that if not for the fact that the Branch Master had also been injured, the Gathering Space Tower probably wouldn’t have offered the position of Honorary Guest Officer to entice people.
It could be said that as long as someone obtained this Honorary Guest Officer position, in the future within the Heart Trial Territory, as long as they did not provoke those great Forces on the same level as the Gathering Space Tower, no matter what they did, no one would dare do anything to them.
[This should about do it.] A glimmer of unusual light flashed through Qin Yichen’s eyes.
At this point, the reward absolutely wouldn’t increase any further.
Moreover, this Honorary Guest Officer position must have been a decision made only after the Branch Master had consulted the Gathering Space Tower headquarters. A mere Branch Master did not have the authority to grant the position of Honorary Guest Officer on his own.
“What are you doing?”
Seeing him walking towards the Gathering Space Crystal House manager, Long Qingyao first froze, then followed after him. “Hey, wait for me!”
“You’re not thinking of trying, are you?” After catching up to Qin Yichen, Long Qingyao asked quietly beside his ear.
“En.” Qin Yichen nodded, then walked before the Gathering Space Crystal House manager.
“You idiot!” Long Qingyao stamped her foot, anxious in her heart yet without any solution.
Clearly, Qin Yichen had already made up his mind.
Moreover, if he was going to treat the patient, he would definitely need to take the pulse, at least to understand what had caused Master Chang’s injury.
And Long Qingyao had already witnessed many examples of the consequences of contact with Master Chang.
Even Earth Grade Alchemy Masters had suffered from it.
Yet Qin Yichen was merely a Human Grade Alchemy Master!
That was why Long Qingyao had become anxious.
If Qin Yichen truly met with misfortune, she would be alone. In this kind of place, she definitely would not be able to survive alone.
“Sir Manager!” Qin Yichen came before the Gathering Space Crystal House manager and clasped his hands in salute.
“You… you also wish to try?” Looking at the youth before him who was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, the Gathering Space Crystal House manager’s brows furrowed deeply.
Because he was in a state of partial disguise, Qin Yichen’s condition appeared rather unfortunate. It was as if he’d been beaten by someone. If the manager hadn’t sensed that Qin Yichen was an Alchemist, he probably wouldn’t have bothered with him at all.
“If it’s possible.” Qin Yichen wore a smile, speaking with seasoned composure.
“Well…” The Gathering Space Crystal House manager hesitated somewhat. However, seeing that no one else was coming forward at all, he reluctantly said to a powerful member of the Gathering Space Tower beside him, “Take him upstairs.”
“Many thanks!” Qin Yichen breathed a sigh of relief.
“Qin Yichen!” Seeing that he was about to go upstairs, Long Qingyao called out anxiously.
“Wait here for me.” Qin Yichen gave her a reassuring smile.
Actually, when he’d cut open that piece of Shooting Star Spirit Crystal, he had already sensed that the meteorite that had fallen this time was somewhat different.
Just like that last one he had opened, it should have been the centre of that entire large meteor before it broke apart in the sky. By rights, the finest Spirit Seed should have been contained within. However, something had burrowed into his Dantian. Additionally, there was that object of unknown nature.
Perhaps it was on Master Chang that he could find the answers to these mysteries.
Under the guidance of that powerful member of the Gathering Space Tower, Qin Yichen arrived at the highest floor of the Gathering Space Crystal House.
The moment he appeared, he sensed dozens of gazes sweep over him like blade edges. After a moment, those gazes withdrew.
This was also the Gathering Space Tower taking precautions, after all, they still feared someone would take the opportunity to assassinate Master Chang.
Next, he came to the room where Master Chang resided.
At present, there were not many people in the room.
Apart from Chairman Wen of the Open Mysteries City Alchemy Guild, there were only two powerful experts of the Gathering Space Tower. However, the auras on these two experts were not weak; they should be high-ranking members of the Gathering Space Tower.
On the left side of the room was a small chamber. At this moment, the curtain of the chamber had been lowered, and behind the curtain was the silhouette of a person.
With just one glance, Qin Yichen could confirm that this person should be the Branch Master!
However, Qin Yichen acted as if he had not seen anything and knew nothing at all, walking directly towards Master Chang, who lay on the bed, barely clinging to life.
Master Chang’s complexion alternated between red and white. The aura on his body was also extremely unstable, and moreover, it was growing increasingly feeble…
If his injuries could not be contained, then truly, he would struggle to survive the day.
After Qin Yichen walked to the bed, he sat on the chair before it and reached out, about to take Master Chang’s pulse.
“Wait!” The one who spoke was Chairman Wen.
“Sir!” Qin Yichen turned around, saluting him while looking at him with puzzlement.
“Do you know the consequences of making contact with him?” Chairman Wen’s brows were tightly furrowed, his voice very grave.
Just this one sentence earned Qin Yichen’s goodwill.
He was reminding him.
“This Junior knows. Many thanks for Chairman Wen’s reminder.” Qin Yichen clasped his hands in salute to him, then said, “However, if I don’t understand the situation within Master Chang’s body, I’ll be unable to prescribe the right treatment.”
